Policemen accused of reckless driving damage passenger’s eye

A Lagos-based interior designer, Stephen Akams, is currently on admission at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital with a damaged eye.

The 41-year-old man said a medical result he would get on Thursday (tomorrow) would determine whether he would see clearly again with his left eye or not.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Akams was battered last Thursday, March 24, along the Benin bypass, Edo State, by some policemen numbering about seven while he was returning from an assignment in Enugu State.
It was learnt that four of the policemen were in a vehicle ahead of a commercial car conveying the artisan.
The police van was allegedly in the middle of the road, moving at a slow speed when the driver of the car signalled to overtake it by blowing the horn.  It was, however, said that the policemen refused to give way for the driver.
